Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Coca-Cola
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine Coca-Cola, ketchup, and brown sugar.
Step 2
Whisk the mixture until the sugar dissolves and it begins to combine effectively.
Step 3
Stir in apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and honey, mixing well.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken as it cooks.
